Senate Bill No. [insert bill number] seeks to modernize and streamline various laws related to motor vehicles in Montana. Key provisions include the inclusion of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in the list of U.S. territories that issue driver's licenses, amendments to definitions related to vehicle classifications, and updates to disability parking permit application requirements. The bill introduces new definitions for "light vehicle," "low-speed electric vehicle," and "medium-speed electric vehicle," and establishes a "low-speed restricted driver's license" for operating such vehicles. Additionally, it allows for electronic records for the manufacturer's certificate of origin and extends the validity of temporary registration permits to 60 days if license plates are not readily available.

The bill also modifies the registration and licensing processes, including the introduction of electronic titles and a pilot program for electronic data transmission. It updates the fee structure for various vehicle registrations and introduces a new annual registration fee for high-value motor homes. Furthermore, it lowers the minimum age for obtaining a driver's license from 16 to 15 and allows individuals as young as 13 to apply for a restricted license under hardship conditions. Significant deletions from current law include the removal of certain requirements regarding canceled licenses and the handling of nonresident licenses, aiming to create a more efficient regulatory framework for motor vehicle operations in Montana.
